ANNAPOLIS (TIP): Maryland House Speaker Adrienne A. Jones (D-Baltimore County) on Thursday, December 4, said she will step down from her leadership position, marking the end of an era where she made history in 2019 as the state’s first Black woman to serve in the role. “When elected Speaker, I never intended this to be forever,” Jones said in a statement, where she pointed to changing seasons in her life as the reason for her departure. “I wanted to help build the next generation of House leaders and prepare them for the challenges in front of us as a State. Now is that time — and I look forward to seeing this mighty House of Delegates continue to grow.”
